NEW PAINT JOB!

[tyler]

I have thought about just painting the a arms and the swing arms the same color as the frame which is that metallic black, and like you said deadlast the same color blue as what is on my hubs and brake disc. So which do you think would look the best the black color thats on the frame or the blue?

on getting the white stress marks out of the plastics, will a cutting torch work? and do i just bent the plastics when heating them or what?

 

[beastlywarrior228]

no use a hair dryer it shrinks the area to bring the color back stress marks are caused by stretching of the plastic

 

[tyler]

alright, so i have the a arms and stuff all primed i just cant decide on a color for the a arms and swing arm. Suggestions?

 

[tyler]

DANG i didnt even think of this, What about White for a arms and swing arm?? And here are some pics of the frame painted and the colors i have thought about using.

Here's what black and white looks like from my first warrior rebuild. I still say go with the blue though, It will match your plastics. And my white a-arms and swinger matched my white plastics.

You have two Warriors? That a whole other bike up on the work bench?

 

[tyler]

Ya only thing it needs to make another warrior out of it is an engine electronics and wheels and tires and plastics

You're going to clear coat that frame, right? That paint won't hold up long by itself.

A big NO on using a cutting torch to bring back the plastics, too much heat in a concentrated area. It'd burn or melt them too easily.

I'm still saying paint the a-arms metallic blue, but with the upper a-arm silver. Trust me, it'll look good. Yellow or white will just draw attention away from the frame paint, and doesn't really match anything else on your quad. It's like putting a red door on a blue car, why would you do it?

 

[tyler]

i think im going to paint the a arms and swing arm the same color blue as the hubs

id have to agree with yamarider on that one, that color scheme sounds awesome and id do that if i was in your shoes, just my .02

Bah! That plain suzuki blue sucks! Paint the **** Intense Blue Pearl, except the upper a-arms (subaru silver) and paint the hubs the same metallic blue to match, it'll look 10 times better. The metallic paint might cost twice as much but it's worth it if you really want to make this thing look GOOD and not just ok.
